Susan Boddy’s demonstration was attended by 30 members, where she focussed on the subject of painting figures in watercolour. By way of instruction, the group was given an explanation how to construct a credible group scene with the heads of figures positioned on the eyeline. Also how to use the correct perspective relative to the vanishing point. Susan then painted two examples of figures… First, a monotone of a waiter against a dark background to create a negative shape, and second, three people standing in a queue. After a break we were shown how to paint a group walking together in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. The result was truly inspirational, and we thank Susan for a particularly interesting demo.
